DUI injury crash at Walmart

Emergency personnel responded shortly after noon Friday to the Waterloo Walmart, 961 N. Market Street, after a vehicle came to rest next to the grocery door entrance following a collision with another vehicle.

A 1995 Jeep Cherokee operated by 68-year-old John Schultz of Waterloo backed into a parked motor vehicle before striking the concrete traffic barriers, police said.

The Waterloo Police Department charged Schultz with felony aggravated DUI, as it resulted in his female passenger sustaining a leg fracture.

The Waterloo Fire Department, Monroe County EMS and Waterloo Police Department responded to the scene.

“The traffic barriers prevented the vehicle from entering Walmart and striking several patrons in the vestibule of the store,” police said.
